Picked this up and have been driving it around non stop
Very happy with the way it drives, despite only having 408hp. It still feels and sounds great.
You needed a run around, Mike..
..
Nice one Throt....
Congrats Mike...
... I think RHD could be quite rare?

Re: New toy
You just bought that to cover up your dirty floor. Admit it! 
Indeed a great car. Prefer that colour over white as well. How do you feel about the roof mechanism? Heard that they can be a bit troublesome. Considering the time of purchase, did you still order it straight from the factory?
Re: New toy
Congrats Mike 
You add another rare "toy" to your collection 
You have been very quiet for some time and I was very curious why. Here comes the answer.

Re: New toy
OK, finally seen it (but on my phone!)
MIke - are you in SA? I thought you were somewhere in Singapore..! JHB or CPT?
My friend imported two 964 Speedsters into SA earlier this year, kept one and has decided to sell the other one - I saw it at Porsche a couple of weeks ago but not sure if it's sold yet. I must catch up with him. Showroom price about R1.5m I think - about $180m...so just for real enthusiasts with deep pockets!

"Budster, I'll send you a PM."
@ Rossi: You don't need to say anything. We already know what you are thinking.

We await your impressions of it. 
Re: New toy
@fritz: I walked into that one right there. Lucky for me, that particular has been sold a week or two ago
@Budster: Wow, 10% commission - you Capetonians are expensive
@Enmanuel: I was not crazy about the car at first, but I was itching for another convertible. It was either the 12C Spider or this. The 458 does nothing for me from a looks points of view. The 12C, although great on paper - lacked flare in person. It will also depreciate like a rock off a cliff. This car too, I'm sure will depreciate, but at least it has some historic value. I figured seeing that the other milestone 997's were in the garage, it seemed logical to make the move on this. Trust me when I say, I was having second thoughts all the time. I'm not a PDK person either, so it had a lot of cons weighing up for it. Now that I have had the pleasure of enjoying it on some beautiful roads, my slight reluctance towards it have totally fallen away. I even love the PDK! The roof mechanism is also a bit of entertainment to take down. Plus I have always said that the next 911 will be Riviera Blue, but I guess this was a nice compromise in colour
@Ron: Thanks buddy!
@Jim: Haha, thanks Jim! I'll do so during the course of the week
@Bjoern: Hahaha, I am afraid that will have to be done during the course of early next year. They are all over the place at the moment 
Re: New toy

@fritz:
I guess to your wife/girfriend, will make a nice birthday present for you...
Many congrats Mike, very nice car (perhaps a bit slow ) and a perfect addition to your P-collection.
